New Gas Wen at Noblesviile.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NoBLEsvILL, June 1.-THE seventh gas we'll
for Noblesville was drilled into the Trenton rock
to-day at noon, in the northeast part of the city
and strong flow of gas was found as soon as
the Trsnton limestone was reached. The flow
continues to increase as the drill goes down. and
the indications are that this will prove as great
a we'll as the Wainwright wonder. This we'll is
owned by the local company. and will be utilized
at once. The location Of this well proves con-
clusively that this city is directly over the
strongest and most extensive gas field yet known.
